Kiteboarding

North makes, in my opinion, some of the better bars on the market. The Pro series control bars come with upgraded lines and auto unswivel which I think easily justify the added cost over the standard bar. My only real complaint with the last generation Navigator Pro was that the red and grey texture bumps on the grip were a little too harsh on your hands. After about an hour of flying in stronger wings that bar would rub my hands raw. This new bar is much softer to the touch without sacrificing grip with wet hands. There is a ridge that runs along the topside for your fingers to grab onto which is ergonomically very comfortable. The lines are high quality, the chicken loop connect is one of the best out there, and the depower works on the first try every time. My only complaint would be that there is no velcro on the depower grab loop so it just swings and hits your knuckles when you are fully depowered.

The UHA has completely replaced the HA in my foil line up. I mostly ride the 870 for light wind winging and small wave Foil Driving. For bigger wave Foil Driving I size down to the 770 or 670. These wings have a surprisingly good take off and stall speed and I find them to be pretty maneuverable for a UHA design. The 870 is still very fun to ride and only takes a little more back foot pressure to get it back to level after a turn compared to the HA. The pump and glide from these wings is amazing. I used to think that I was just bad at pumping, which I probably was, but getting on the UHA unlocked pumping for me almost immediately. The only thing that I've found the UHA to not be good for is kite foiling. It doesn't like that level of power and it breaches easily at high lean angles because it is so wide. I personally choose to wing on the MA MKII foils when its gets windier but I don't see a reason the smaller UHA foils wouldn't excel at that too. Overall, I think this foil is great for an intermediate or higher rider, and if you are Foil Driving then it is a must buy.

North did an absolutely fantastic job on this board! I've been riding the 80 & 100L sizes for the past two weeks and they have both really impressed me with their performance and user-friendliness. The updated shape/bottom contours and outline has made the board noticeably more stable over the original MIDI, and it still comes off the water super smooth and very easily. I weigh about 100 kgs and I've found the 80L super easy to ride in most conditions and the 100L to be an absolute light wind weapon. Great board for downwinding, parawing, winging and even prone in the smaller sizes.

Just had my first session on the Snackpack. I’m about 185lbs and the 146 fit like a glove. I did a bit of big air and wave riding today. We had a strong southwest swell and 20-30 knot winds. The board handles chop effortlessly and it was fun carving and spraying off the tops of the rollers.

Shout out to Real for outstanding customer service. My first board arrived damaged and they replaced it with a new one, covered the shipping for the return and they were super helpful. Looking forward to riding this thing in some real waves! The toasties I have to say are the most comfortable bindings I have ever used too. It’s a great setup.

By far my favorite control bar available on the market. It's simple, modular, and the lightweight feeling plus premium lines makes it an easy choice for a do-it-all control bar. Auto untwist is great for looping tricks and oceanside downwinders and the seatbelt-style click-in quick release works flawlessly every time. Pick up one of the high-y split kits too and then you'll have a great control bar that's compatible with just about any kite on the market.

I've been having a blast with this wing! The new materials and construction makes for an incredibly rigid, powerful, and fast wing. I prefer to ride strapless and almost exclusively in the surf, so having a wing that makes waterstarts easy when you need to get up quickly is critical.

The Halo PRO 2 makes waterstarts SUPER easy, with loads of powerful forward drive. Every pump of the wing feels like a speed boost. The stability of the wing is next level, too. Even in gusty, offshore ocean conditions, the Halo PRO 2 stays locked in, driving upwind easily or flagging out on the waves with grace.

The ergonomic boom prevents arm fatigue and gives me a mechanical advantage over the angle of attack, allowing me to extend my sessions longer before getting tired. The added pistol grip at the front also allows me to surf smaller swell without grabbing the leading edge handle, so I can get back into the power of the wing quickly via instant access to the boom.

It's powerful and smooth. It's stable and predictable. This is my new go-to wing for sure.

As a beginner female winger it is a very easy to use and forgiving foil. I'm 130lbs 5'7 on a good day. The 1850 worked great for me in wind ranges from the low teens to low 20s. I was able to get my first rides in both directions on this foil! I would recommend this foil to anyone wanting to learn how to wing that have not been successful yet! xoxo Mo

I worked at REAL for the summer and these were the booties I sold the most. The roundtoe or split toe is all preference but I personally think the split toe allows for better grip. The Superfreak Tropicals are ideal for summer water temperatures, anything thicker will get those puppies sweating! Willl stretch over time so go down a size, two adjusters, one on the ankle and one velcro on top of foot.

I bought this to surf and wing foil in. I love the thin straps and open back for great tan lines (I hate a razor back tan line). As someone new to winging and surfing I learned quick that you want a one piece for the wipeouts! This suit was comfortable and great for my long torso. I got a size small im 5’7 130lbs.

Perfect summer surf suit. Holds everything’s in place and adds some nice sunpprotection too. I sized down for a nice tight fit, and after a few months of weekly use it’s still perfect. Favorite suit of the summer!

I took a lesson at Real Watersports and this is the wing we used during my lesson. As a 5’7 130lb female the size of the wing intimidated me at first but the wing was surprisingly light and the hard handles were preferable to the soft handle wings ive tried in the past. Handles were easy to reach and maneuver on wing foil. Easy to fold up and fit into bag

Gotta protect the noggin and this helmet is adjustable so its comfortable and secure when you fall off the board. Only helmet I wear. Hat hair is minimal!

SO MUCH FUN! First time efoiling and im addicted! If you ever wanted to be a pelican gliding over the water this eFoil is for you! Slight learning curve having a remote but by the end of your first session you’ll be flying like superman on his way to Lois Lane’s! 10/10 recommend! You won’t want to get off the water! Good thing the battery doesn’t last forever or your family would never see you again!
